Part 24 (2/2)

He should also know thoroughly the policies of denominational and interdenominational Sunday school bodies, and, where there are denominations in plural quant.i.ty, this may mean a task worth while.

Sometimes it is a slow process. Surely, so! The Kingdom, with all the wisdom of Heaven, has been twenty centuries in the building, and it has been wrought out in the Church. The contribution that each man or woman makes must be small, but likewise great in its possibilities, if wisely, patiently given.

An organization cannot be permanently helped by introducing into its life the methods of another without the process of a.s.similation; neither can strength be given merely a part of the body to cure the whole.

Organic tone is needed. Intelligent, Sunday school-wide cooperation!

This is the invitation of the church school to all existing organizations. The conditions of the challenge are not easy, but the task is interesting and worth while, and the promise of increased efficiency is great indeed.
